Considering all future tarballs are going to be .xz, would it make sense to default to .xz and fix the recipes where there isn't a .xz? Ross

I think if we can do a batch update and then switch the default that would make more sense. I will leave that up to the new gnome recipe maintainer Valentin.

When are the gnome recipes going to move out of OE-core?

I keep seeing people mentioning their pet hates but nobody has put together a reasonable proposal encompassing all the different elements about how we could change the current set, thinking through the various implications. I will state once again for the record that we need enough in OE-Core that we can build some working environments which are testable. I do not want to end up in a position where we have a core which we can't actually test. I also want the core to contain enough pieces to actually be real world useful. I think the core today does that but if we start pulling out every gnome piece or X11 then it would not be as real world generally useful. I realise not everyone uses X11 but it does test a significant set of the system, be it kernel framebuffer drivers, the compiler etc. I'm not thrilled to have sato there either but again, until we can come up with a plan to replace it whilst still having a testable core, I don't want to remove it. Yes, I've said this before but since people keep asking the question, I'll have to keep repeating myself. Personally, I think there are bigger more pressing issues to deal with too... Cheers, Richard

Upstream Gnome projects are starting to migrate to the .xz compress format, so we need to add this to allow recipes to override the default of .bz2 as the upstreams make the transition.
